Sketch Pencils

If you want to have a good result, you must have to be prepared. Before you start painting, you need painting tools. However, what did you know about your tools? Today, we are going to talk about the tools we use it most often, which is pencils.

If you are in a sketching class, the teacher always said you need sketch pencils. But what is the differences between sketch pencils, and pencils?

The pencils we used in studio, Staedtler's Mars Lumograph pencils.

We use Staedtler's sketch Mars Lumograph pencils most often in the studio. Also, there are plenty of brands that you can choose in the market.

There are different marks on the sketch pencils. The pencils are available in 16 degrees, ranging from particularly soft (8B) to very hard (6H). The harder the pencil is, the grading is lighter. The softer the pencil is, the grading is deeper. However, different brands has their own definition of the pencils. Make sure you get the right brand before you buy it!

There are different meanings between the alphabets on the pencils. H means "Hard." B means "Black."

The grading is lighter if there are more H, and it is better for brighter places' light grey and details. The grading is deeper if there are more B, and it is darker and easier to draw.

There are several graded degrees of pencils.
